Tales from the farm
Switzerland has just passed a law requiring meat and eggs to be labelled if they involved cruelty, things like dehorning without anaesthetic, or beak clipping. About time, right? 👌
At 3 Bears Farm, we’ve always believed that if animals are going to be eaten, they deserve a life (and death) with as little stress and suffering as possible. That’s why our cattle are raised slowly, on pasture, in a small herd, with care and respect every step of the way.
We were gutted when our local abattoir, just 8 minutes down the road, closed its doors to small producers like us, prioritising export over local farmers. It means our cattle now travel further than we’d like or they should.
On farm slaughter would be best by far, but it’s not permitted under current regulations.
Still, we do everything we can to ensure a quiet, low stress journey and humane processing, far better than feedlots, factory farming, or not knowing where your food comes from.
We’ve got 8 beef hampers left for pickup or delivery this weekend (Melbourne + Macedon Ranges). If you’re thinking about filling the freezer, now’s the time.

And if you’d like to read about what Switzerland is doing to push for more transparency in meat labelling, here’s the article that caught our eye:

The Swiss government has approved new labelling rules that mandate businesses to declare if the meat and dairy products they're selling are linked to animal suffering.
We’ve got around 10 grass-fed beef hampers still available for pickup or delivery next Saturday, July 12.
Our small herd of South Devon cattle have been really well looked after and are in great condition, with excellent fat cover. The butcher’s been hanging the body for three and a half weeks — much longer than usual — which makes a big difference in flavour and tenderness. You’ll taste the difference.
Hampers come in 8kg, 16kg or 30kg sizes, and we also have 5kg mince/sausage packs available for $125.
Delivery available to Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges.

Pastured eggs are the best eggs!
Grass fed beef
Seasonal produce
Welcome and thanks for your interest in sourcing quality produce that’s grown ethically and locally!
In September 2018 we purchased our stunning 48 acre farm in the Macedon Ranges with the intention of slowly developing it over five years into a working farm and shining example of ethical food production, native revegetation and regenerative agriculture.
Then life happened. 😉
The premature birth of our beautiful daughter Leela, the 2019 bush-fires and finally Covid-19 ended my work in the events industry and has motivated us to radically accelerate our plans!
We’re egg’cited to be starting our regenerative and ethical food journey with delicious pastured eggs and premium quality grass-fed beef.
Our “Brave Hen” eggs are laid by our pampered chooks who are raised on green pasture, with access to the sun, bugs, and fresh air. The chickens eat a natural omnivore diet the way Mother Nature intended. Our clucky ladies follow a few days behind our grass fed cattle helping rejuvenate our pastures while feasting through the pasture, chicken paradise..YUM!
We are 100% committed to animal welfare and ethical farming, you can be assured every creature and plant is given the respect and care it needs to thrive. Let us know where you are and what you would like on your menu!
We look forward to providing yourself and your loved ones with farm fresh locally grown produce!
